There are house positions on a line. Place routers in distinct houses so that the minimum distance between any two placed routers is as large as possible.
Placing routers at positions 1, 4, and 8 keeps every neighboring gap at least 3; a gap of 4 cannot place all three.
Using positions 1 and 30 gives the largest minimum distance, 29.
Four routers can be placed at 0, 5, 15, and 25, so the best minimum distance is 5.
